It all began when Joseph Stalin ordered the production of watches
under SOYUZ brand name at a secret armory near Moscow in 1940s.

SOYUZ was not for sale being awarded to lords of the country
and the world as a mark of distinction. It was SOYUZ that accompanied
Soviet leaders in the grand events of the 20th century.

SOYUZ watches still remain Soviet enigma of the past.
At the moment they are available in a limited edition
for dedicated admirers of prestigious timepieces.
